Vier encyclopedische voorstellingen 1765 - 1806

"Vier encyclopedische voorstellingen" is a collection of four engravings by Johann David Schleuen, a German artist who was active in the 18th century. The four scenes depicted showcase various stages of craftsmanship, including a blacksmith working on wheels, a carriage being assembled, a kitchen with multiple individuals engaged in food preparation, and a procession of figures moving goods on wheels. These engravings are illustrative of the social and industrial landscape of Schleuen's era. The work is part of a series, as evidenced by the inscription "Tab. XX". It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
